A Kerber vs M Kirilenko

[bald_guy]

Even though Kerber won, I don't feel Kirilenko came close to playing her better game tonight. If they played again, I would say its best to pick over or not 2-0. But if I had to pick sides, would pick Kirilenko even though she is lower ranked and lost tonight.

I had the sound muted, but seen Kirilenko just slam down her racket once, and for some strange reason go to the net and shove her hand thru it. LOL. Also the sweat and frustration both girls exhibited was pretty hot.

Was pretty much the close match we all thought it would be, with a bit of a surprise that Kerber won as easy as she did in the 3rd set. Just never know till it happens.

She was demonstrating just one of the dirty things she wanted to do with Kerber post-match. No, she was telling the umpire that Kerber's serve went under the net rather than over it and so it should have been a 2nd serve rather than a let first serve.

Leaving the house, something I need to do more often and thanks, of course blew the winnings today lol! Kerber was very focused in the third set. Produced point of the match with a break in the first game I think. Kirilenko broke back 2-2 but then lost it again and from then on out Kerber cruised to 6-2 with some resistance on the Kirilenko serve (deuce games). Kirilenko didn't play her best not to take credit away from Kerber who was solid.

Match was on Kirilenko's racquet. She went down 0-2 in the third set, fought back to 2-2 with both 40-30 and ADV on her serve and got broken (on a double fault mind you), only to lose 3 more straight games from there to lose the match.
